Genesis 11

11 1And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
2And it came to pass, as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in
the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
3And they said one to another,
Come, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for
stone, and slime had they for mortar.
4And they said, Come, let us build
us a city, and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven, and let us
make us a name; lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
5And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower, which the children
of men builded.
6And Jehovah said, Behold, they are one people, and they
have all one language; and this is what they begin to do: and now nothing
will be withholden from them, which they purpose to do.
7Come, let us go
down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one
another's speech.
8So Jehovah scattered them abroad from thence upon the
face of all the earth: and they left off building the city.
9Therefore
was the name of it called Babel; because Jehovah did there confound the
language of all the earth: and from thence did Jehovah scatter them abroad
upon the face of all the earth.

10These are the generations of Shem. Shem was a hundred years old, and
begat Arpachshad two years after the flood.
11and Shem lived after he
begat Arpachshad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.

12And Arpachshad lived five and thirty years, and begat Shelah.
13and
Arpachshad lived after he begat Shelah four hundred and three years, and
begat sons and daughters.

14And Shelah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:
15and Shelah lived
after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and
daughters.

16And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:
17and Eber
lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and
daughters.

18And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:
19and Peleg lived
after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and
daughters.

20And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:
21and Reu
lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and
daughters.

22And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:
23and Serug lived
after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.

24And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:
25and Nahor
lived after he begat Terah a hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and
daughters.

26And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

27Now these are the generations of Terah. Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and
Haran. And Haran begat Lot.
28And Haran died before his father Terah in
the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
29And Abram and Nahor
took them wives: The name of Abram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's
wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of
Iscah.
30And Sarai was barren; She had no child.
31And Terah took
Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran, his son's son, and Sarai his
daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur
of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and
dwelt there.
32And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and
Terah died in Haran.
